Let's pretend for a few minutes that a mirror of TRP exists for women. No, not FDS, but an actual mirror of TRP which "exposes true male nature". How receptive are men to hearing pat statements, stereotypes, and jargon associated with manipulating men for the purpose of sex and relationships?

 

Let's start with subtle cues, like smiling. Men are always looking for signals, right? Women have a lot of practice with smiles thanks to selfies for social media. If I want a man to feel special, I smile at him with a little wiggle. You know, like I'm super excited to see him and fascinated. Could even bite my lip a little like I'm trying to suppress the smile from getting too big. I can also blush on command, do a little submissive thing by dipping a shoulder which makes it appear as though I'm looking up at him and I'm super extra cute and small.

When he speaks to me, I can open my eyes wide and nod, and say things like "You are exactly right! I was just thinking that!" As I nod enthusiastically.

 

I can also ask his advice. "Hey, you have big shoulders. I'm having trouble getting past 15 pounds on flies. What am I doing wrong?" or "Gosh, your thighs are huge. I've been trying to use the leg press, but I'm afraid I'll hurt myself. How much weight do you think I should start with?" (takes note of his beer) "What should I drink if I like the taste of stouts, but I don't want to get drunk?"

 

I could poke him lightly in the stomach when he says something funny, and look surprised and awed about how hard his abs are. Or squeeze his arm and make a face like I've touched tempered steel and ask "geez, how much do you bench? Never mind, do you wanna fight that guy over there who said he hates IPAs?"

 

I could ask him about his best game in high school or college. I could listen, wide eyed and nodding, and say "No freaking way, the same thing happened at my school, except our guy ended up getting hurt and had to drop out of the game."

If I feel him losing interest, all I have to do is shift my eyes over to a bigger, taller, stronger, more attractive man and quickly look that man up and down and turn my body slightly in that man's direction. Reels him right back in. If all else fails, I can just walk off right in the middle of one of his stories and go talk to another man. He will follow me.

 

Never fails. All men love to tell hero stories, and all men love to give advice. All men are in constant competition with one another. Getting a man's attention and interest is a breeze, they all work the same way.

Any men have any problem with any of this?
